Blue Heron Riding Academy
Private
Horse-centered farm camp in Chandler for kids ages 7-14, offered as three tracks: Horse Camp, Goat Camp and Farm Discovery Camp. All three spend mornings in riding lessons working on steering, balance and control; afternoons go into hands-on horse care, goat care, or wider farm work with chickens, rabbits and the garden. The academy teaches beginners through advanced riders and also runs year-round lessons and holiday and spring-break camps.

★★★★★Derek RussFriendly and knowledgeable. My daughter’s first time and the experience couldn’t have been better. She enjoyed it and is excited to return. We will be scheduling again.
★Joshua randolphPaid for my daughter to be led around by the instructors son. Was not actually taught riding. Bad experience, would not recommend 👎
★★★★★Felicia HummelIt was my son’s first time being on a horse. He just turned 3. We had Curtis as an instructor, and he was extremely patient and attentive to my son. It was the most perfect experience for us all. We highly recommend Blue Heron Riding Academy.
★★★★★K SchmittWe purchased a riding lesson from Blue Heron Riding Academy for my 12 yr old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loved it! Curtis was wonderful and very patient with her. By the end of the first lesson, she was hooked so we signed her up for semester lessons. We're only 3 lessons in, but very happy so far!
★★★★★Kristal BrownMy daughter has been taking lessons at Blue Heron for several months now, and absolutely loves it. She has not only learned so much about riding technique, but she has also learned all the grooming/tacking that comes before and after the ride. Curtis does an amazing job with my daughter and the other children during each lesson, giving them individual pointers as needed to make the most of each lesson. Curtis and Jill provide a warm welcoming environment, not only for the student, but for the families as well. We love our Blue Heron family and would recommend to any and everyone who has a love of horses❤
